The God of Football starts with passive skills

Chapter 29 He really is a genius!
"My God, another goal?"

The moment Wang Shuo scored, the entire Bruchweg Stadium erupted in cheers.

On the bench, Borja, who had just been substituted off, rushed out of his seat with an incredulous look on his face, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.

The Ecuadorians never imagined that the impenetrable wall they had struggled against for over an hour would be breached by Wang Shuo in just two minutes.

This is incredible!
"How did he do that?" Borja muttered to himself.

When he sat back down, he clearly noticed the barely suppressed laughter on the faces of Boyakje and Jovanovic next to him.

He knew perfectly well that his two teammates were laughing at the rant he had just made.

But isn’t this too outrageous?

A goal in such a short time?
Looking at the coaching bench, Klopp was so excited he was practically punching the boxer.

Borja knows without a doubt that at this moment, the head coach must be feeling extremely regretful.

Wang Shuo was replaced too late!
This made the Ecuadorians increasingly angry and bitter.

That's unreasonable and unscientific!
Are Kaiserslautern's defenders made of paper?

If so, what about the first hour or so?

……

"Haha, see? We still have to look to our Wang Shuo!"

"Wow! Wang Shuo scored a goal in less than two minutes after coming on the field, awesome!"

"What did I tell you? If Mainz's coach had brought on Wang Shuo earlier, Kaiserslautern's goal would have been breached much sooner."

"Don't disbelieve me, Wang Shuo's goal looks simple, but it was actually very difficult."

"That's right, but that just proves that Wang Shuo is indeed amazing."

"He's scored in three consecutive Bundesliga 3 matches! Wang Shuo's momentum is incredible!"

On domestic sports forums, fans watching the live broadcast went wild the moment the goal was scored.

Forum posts, QQ groups, and other channels are all rapidly forwarding the message.

As Wang Shuo's performance improved, he attracted more and more attention.

Major portal websites, in particular, are now closely following the progress of the competition.

Within three minutes of Wang Shuo scoring, major domestic portals, news websites, and sports websites reported on it immediately.

This further boosted Wang Shuo's popularity in China, attracting more and more fans.

It even attracted more passersby and began to gain fame.

……

At Bruchweg Stadium, Wang Shuo was unaware of the reaction he received domestically.

Even after scoring, he remained focused on the game.

Time is running out for him.

He needs to work harder to earn 3 passive points in about 20 minutes.

So, even after scoring, he continued to run hard, looking for opportunities.

To others, Wang Shuo was simply not content with just scoring goals; he was striving to help the team further extend their lead and secure the victory.

The fans at the scene were also cheering for Wang Shuo.

Especially when Wang Shuo was tripped by Kaiserslautern center-back Schönheim while trying to break through with the ball, he immediately got up from the grass with a smile and continued to fight back.

This immediately moved the more than 2 Mainz fans present, who all chanted Wang Shuo's name from the stands.

The commotion grew louder and louder.

Even the commentators on the German television broadcasting the live show were full of praise.

"What a striker with an incredibly strong desire to win!"

"Although he is only 17 years old, Wang Shuo has left a very deep impression on us every time he takes the stage."

"We can see that there are also many Mainz fans cheering for Wang Shuo at the scene."

"No one dislikes such a hardworking and ambitious young player."

Besides his hard work in the game, Wang Shuo's most important quality is that he mostly runs into open spaces.

Whenever his teammates manage to pass the ball to him, it sends shivers down the spines of Kaiserslautern's defenders.

This naturally made the Mainz fans in the stands extremely excited.

"This is the kind of performance our Mainz attackers should be putting in."

"Exactly, Borja wasn't a threat at all on the field just now."

Is this young player really only 17 years old?

“It’s absolutely true, I watched his game in the U19 team.”

"My God, that's a true genius!"

"Go for it, Wang Shuo!"

"Score one more!"

"Everyone, shout with me, Wang~Shuo~"

"Wang~Shuo~"

When more and more Mainz fans in the stands chanted this name, not only did everyone in the stadium hear it, but even the live broadcast on the 2. Bundesliga television picked it up.

The director even switched the camera to the stands.

"Listen, the Mainz fans are cheering for Wang Shuo!"

"This 17-year-old Chinese player is the youngest goalscorer in Mainz's 100-year history and is now being given high hopes by Mainz."

"I believe it won't be long before he shakes the whole of Germany!"

Klopp and Buvac stood in front of the home team's bench, listening to the increasingly enthusiastic shouts coming from the stands around the stadium.

As legendary Mainz players, they were also deeply inspired.

For any club, fans are the most valuable asset!
"This kid's progress is amazing!" Buvac's admiration was written all over his face.

"The key is that Kaiserslautern's defenders don't have a good way to deal with him either," Klopp said, grinning from ear to ear.

The more frustrated and helpless they were under Kaiserslautern's defense for the previous hour or so, the more satisfying it felt now.

Not only are they in the lead, they're also keeping Kaiserslautern on their heels.

If the away team relaxes its guard even slightly, or exposes any problems, it immediately becomes a threat.

……

In the 86th minute of the match, Mainz made a tackle near the halfway line in Kaiserslautern's half.

Calhan passed the ball to Baljak on the right side of the attacking third.

After controlling the ball with the outside of his left foot, Baljak cut inside, dribbled past the defender, and delivered a diagonal pass.

Wang Shuo cleverly ran to the center of the attacking third and received the ball in front of Kaiserslautern's two center-backs.

The closest one, Schornheim, rushed forward immediately.

The 1.91-meter-tall German center-back was well aware of Wang Shuo's speed, so he did not choose to get close, but kept a certain distance to avoid being easily beaten by Wang Shuo.

Despite being only 21 years old, Schönheim, a product of Germany's national youth teams, has a wealth of defensive experience.

He was confident that at this distance, no matter how Wang Shuo changed direction, he could immediately block his position.

Even if the ball gets past, you can still keep your player there. "Come on!"

Schornheim stared intently at his opponent, his gaze unwavering.

"A mistake like that will absolutely not happen again!"

The opponent's choice to confront them head-on was within Wang Shuo's expectations.

After stopping the ball between his feet, Wang Shuo immediately made a decision.

Even before, when Wang Shuo received the "Swiftness" buff, his footwork became very fast, but because his "ball feel" was still relatively poor at the time, the feeling wasn't particularly strong.

They rely more on feints to confuse their opponents.

But ever since his "ball sense" improved to the regional level, as his feeling for football has become more and more acute, his understanding has become more and more profound, especially regarding so-called technique.

The same action, if the speed is increased by 1.2 times, can have drastically different effects.

Previously, Wang Shuo couldn't understand why Barcelona's genius Messi's dribbling skills were so sharp.
Why couldn't his opponents stop him?
Now he understands.

Because Messi is fast enough!

Messi is short, has a low center of gravity, and moves very quickly.

Even with his exceptional talent, Manchester United's star player Cristiano Ronaldo needs to rely on feints like stepovers to get past opponents.

Real Madrid's Dutch winger Arjen Robben often needs to make dramatic changes of speed and direction to get past opponents, which is why he suffers from many injuries.

But Messi doesn't need to, because he's fast enough.

Shifting speed and direction, and using feints, are all meant to confuse the opponent and shift their center of gravity.

But if you're fast enough, you don't need to do that at all.

Just like Messi.

Every movement he made was real.

If the defender doesn't keep up, he immediately takes control and moves on to the next move.

What if the defenders catch up?

Messi's extremely fast movement frequency allows him to quickly make another move that is the opposite of what the defender does.

Therefore, when facing Messi, especially in one-on-one situations, defenders will feel immense pressure.

Which one is true and which one is false?
When Wang Shuo faced Schornheim, in a one-on-one situation, that's exactly what he did.

After stepping out with the right foot, the whole body leans towards the right shoulder.

Schornheim made a judgment immediately.

Really!

Kaiserslautern's defenders immediately shifted their weight in an attempt to block the shot.

But Wang Shuo's movements were too fast. With a quick flick, he sent the ball back to his left foot and then took another step forward.

He dribbled past Schornheim and charged forward with the ball.

The whole process is a long story, but in reality, it was completed the instant Wang Shuo received the ball.

The two passed each other by as if they were brushing past each other.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the fans throughout the Bruchweg Stadium.

"My God, he just dribbled past them!"

"Wang Shuo got past Schornheim with just a feint!"

No one expected that Wang Shuo would deal with the other party so cleanly and thoroughly!
As a result, Kaiserslautern's last center-back, Ovatara, immediately turned around and chased back, but Wang Shuo managed to dribble the ball into the penalty area.

Moreover, on the left side of the penalty area, Wang Shuo suddenly stopped and cut the ball towards the center with his right foot, about to get past Ovatara again.

The French player from Burkina Faso was charging too fast and couldn't keep up with Wang Shuo's pace at all.

Left with no other choice, he could only reach out and grab Wang Shuo's jersey.

Just as Wang Shuo was about to shake off Ovatara, his jersey was grabbed by a slipping center-back, and the two fell to the ground.

Referee Perry immediately blew his whistle.

The Bruchweg Stadium erupted in deafening cheers once again.

Penalty kick!

Yellow card!

All the Mainz fans cheered excitedly.

Wang Shuo then forcefully pounded the grass with both hands.

To everyone else, it looked more like he was regretting being pulled down and missing a chance to score.

Actually?

Wang Shuo was celebrating that he had finally obtained his third passive value in this game.

In this way, you'll accumulate 50 points and be able to get another passive skill card.

When Calhanoglu came over and pulled Wang Shuo up, he thought Wang Shuo would be angry or upset, and wanted to give Wang Shuo the penalty kick opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuo waved his hand cheerfully.

"It's better you do it."

Wang Shuo pointed to the penalty spot and gestured for Calhan to come forward.

This action immediately earned him thunderous applause.

"A very humble young man!"

"He has already scored a goal, and although he missed a great opportunity, the penalty was still awarded to him."

"Let's revisit that breakthrough we just witnessed."

"This is Wang Shuo's face-to-face attack, breaking through Schornheim from the front."

“Schoenheim is our key center-back for the German U21 team, and he was just beaten like that.”

"I have to admit, Wang Shuo's dribbling breakthrough was indeed very beautiful."

"Look at Mainz's penalty kick this time."

"Karlhan, run-up very calmly!"

Goal!

"2 to 0!"

"Mainz has converted a penalty, making it 2-0 to Kaiserslautern!"

"Mainz has essentially secured the victory."

"They should thank Wang Shuo, a 17-year-old Chinese player."

"It was Wang Shuo's substitution that turned the tide and created two goals for Mainz."

"I believe that after today's game, Mainz's head coach Klopp should have made a decision."

"As a key striker, Borja's performance is far inferior to Wang Shuo's."

Five minutes after Calhanoglu scored the penalty, referee Perry blew the final whistle.

Thanks to Wang Shuo's goal and the penalty he won, Mainz defeated Kaiserslautern 2-0.
